I have a 2.0 w/ auto 23000 miles on it current gas mileage is 29.5--32mpg
mostly hwy driving. If you stay at 55-60 was getting 32mpg and do have some hills to drive
up. Now all this depend on the weather , wind and the way you drive. I dont go over 65
and dont tail gate . The only thing i have done to the car change oil, air filter and plugs
i do all my own work on the car.
I have a dodge truck with the 4.7 v-8 and get 18--20 mpg with the same driving as i do
now with the car.
For the price of 13,250 its a great car , cant expect a 30,ooo dollar ride

Hi newyearbaby2006...Hey, you're gettingvery goodmileage in the winter! When I purchased in September 2006, I was beating your 32MPG only on warm days & long trips. Generally, short trips with lots of cooldowns(specially inthe winter)& my mileage sank to 25 to 27MPG. Found the CVT tranny has to be driven very very softly(very very slow acceleration, low speeds, & no yo yo speed changes), or it will take big chunks out ofyour MPG. Hey, you got a great price for your Caliber! Grace & peace to you.... litesong
Hi newyearbaby2006....You drive like me. How's your MPG been thru the winter & winter mix gas? My initial average of 30+MPG in the fall began to fall as a cold long winter came on & alsothe use of lower energy winter mix gas. My average dropped thru the winter to 28.4MPG. With the warming spring & summer mix gas, my average has risen to 29.4MPG. If my Caliber continues to function well, I hopemy average reaches into the low 30's by end of my first year of ownership. I did have aone time flat highway high of 34.9MPG. I'm most happy with my 4000 foot mountain pass average of 32+MPG with a high of 33.7MPG.
I like to meet other feather footers with good MPG. Other drivers just don't believe us!
Posted this on another thread here, but thought this older thread could be used too. After 1 year of SE Caliber w/CVT ownership, my overall average (what I would call official) MPG is 31.4MPG. Feather footed steadily to get that mileage & think few others have such a high MPG with over 50 tanks of gasoline compiled.Reading other of my posts on this thread gives agood indication of Caliber's capabilities.
